Initiated in 2000 as a grassroots partnership, the program is now active in all provinces and territories.
People living in First Nation communities face challenges and barriers in accessing health care services. Two-thirds of northern residents must travel more than 90 km to see a physician.
Community-based health care providers also face geographical challenges in accessing training to build on their skills and knowledge.
Supporting continuing education and quality care closer to home has a positive impact on health and well-being for community members.
The SE First Nations, Inuit and Métis program is supported through charitable donations from the Saint Elizabeth Foundation.
